Chapter 113

~7 min read 1,284 words

Tian Zhen and the Fatty looked at each other, neither understanding why the blood corpse’s head could attract dragon lice.

But looking at Master Zhang’s expression, he seemed very certain.

At this time, they heard Master Zhang say, “This person chopped off the blood corpse’s head, probably for something inside the skull.”

“But I don’t know if they actually know that thing is extremely dangerous?”

“If this person has no judgment of the danger, then we are in danger.”

After Master Zhang finished speaking, he said to the two, “Let’s go, find everyone.”

“There will be more and more dragon lice in this ancient tomb; if we don’t gather together, the end result will be being devoured.”

Tian Zhen and the Fatty had already been scared, and the two now regarded Master Zhang as their life-saving straw.

They did almost whatever Master Zhang said!

The Fatty’s previous suspicion of Master Zhang was also thrown to the back of his mind.

The Fatty, who had always been sensible, now only knew one truth: whoever could protect him was a god!

……

The news of the archaeological team encountering such a major change and being hit by dragon lice in the tomb passage also made it to the major news outlets.

856323613

By the time Zhang Lin opened the live stream, Master Zhang had already found most of the people.

Currently, three people were missing; Master Zhang had gone back and forth in the burial chamber alone several times, and even jumped into the traps to search.

Still, he couldn't find these three people!

They were as if they had disappeared in the tomb passage.

But this Tomb of King Lu Shang was actually not very large according to the current map.

Besides the main burial chamber of the Big Dipper Doubtful Coffin Array, there was also the blood corpse burial chamber.

Although the tomb passage connecting them was very long, there were no overly complex intersections.

Since Master Zhang had searched the entire existing map with his status and still hadn't found these three people,

there was only one possibility: they had entered the secret passage the archaeological team had been looking for!

After Master Zhang stated this guess, Professor Chen also nodded in agreement.

“They likely bumped into a mechanism inadvertently while running.”

“If that’s the case, then we still need to look for the entrance to the mechanism.”

After Professor Chen finished speaking, he asked Master Zhang with some confusion how he repelled the dragon lice.

“Master, how did these thousands of dragon lice disappear?”

“When we were running with the special forces, we tried both shooting and burning.”

“That could only make them retreat briefly, but this group of things seemed like they weren't afraid of death.”

“As soon as the flames got a little smaller, they would bunch up and charge at us.”

Hearing this, the Fatty and Tian Zhen felt a stir in their hearts and looked at Master Zhang.

Now only the two of them knew that the dragon lice fleeing was because of Master Zhang’s blood.

Even now, the wound on his left hand was still oozing blood!

There was no help for it; human blood would clot automatically.

To save people and repel the dragon lice, Master Zhang had to constantly reopen the clotted wound.

The bloody scene made Tian Zhen and the Fatty exclaim that they couldn't bear it.

But Master Zhang didn't even frown.

It was as if he couldn't feel the pain!

The two also changed from their initial suspicion and wariness of Master Zhang to another complex emotion.

Just like now, when Professor Chen asked Master Zhang how he repelled the dragon lice,

even though both of them knew the reason, they tacitly chose to keep their mouths shut.

In the Fatty’s words: If Master wants to say it, he naturally will; why should we open our mouths?

Master Zhang said, “Mount Mount Wudang has some medicine that can repel insects, but I didn't bring much.”

“So, it’s best if everyone doesn't get separated and stays together.”

Zhang Lin smiled knowingly as he watched this scene in the live stream.

Because when Master Zhang was saving people earlier, the Fatty and Tian Zhen had been following behind him the whole time.

So Zhang Lin guessed that these two must have discovered the Master’s secret long ago.

Yet they both chose to remain silent; it seems that even if the trajectory of some things deviates at the beginning,

they will eventually turn in a specific direction.

For example, the friendship of the trio!

It was cultivated in such repeated trips down into the tombs.

The fate between people is also very strange; they clearly suspected each other extremely at the beginning,

but sometimes they would completely change their views because of one action of the other!

Looking at how Tian Zhen and the Fatty were following Master Zhang closely today, never leaving his side,

one knew that these three would be inseparable in the future.

Just as Zhang Lin was distracted, he suddenly heard an archaeological team member scream in the live stream.

“Help, something has wrapped around my foot!”

…….

Hearing the archaeological team’s cry, Master Zhang reacted immediately.

He said in a deep voice, “Quick, grab him!”

But the few people closest to the man didn't react in the panic.

By the time they reached out to pull, the person calling for help had already been dragged to the ground.

At the same time, he was dragged along the tomb passage at an extremely fast speed.

Professor Chen immediately shouted, “It’s Zhou Wen! Everyone, quick, chase after him!”

The speed at which Zhou Wen was dragged away was too fast; when everyone reacted, their faces all changed drastically.

A girl said tremblingly, “I saw a hand grabbing Zhou Wen’s foot…”

It wasn't just this girl who saw it; many others also saw that what was grabbing Zhou Wen’s foot was indeed a hand.

And the appearance of that hand didn't look like a normal person’s!

The fingers were almost level, and the skin on the hand was a pale green.

It really looked like a ghost hand from a movie!

Master Zhang didn't listen to all that; he pushed through the crowd and chased after Zhou Wen.

Tian Zhen was completely stunned at this moment.

He finally confirmed that what he saw before wasn't a hallucination!

There really was a hand resting on the Fatty’s shoulder!

And the Fatty’s face turned green; thinking of how Tian Zhen said there was a hand on his shoulder earlier, and the Fatty even said Tian Zhen was kidney-deficient and seeing things!

Now that he saw this hand actually dragging a grown man away, how could the Fatty not be terrified?

It was almost him who was being dragged away!

Tian Zhen immediately said, “Quick, let’s follow the Master; staying alone in the tomb passage is too dangerous, and those dragon lice might make a comeback!”

Hearing this, the people from the archaeological team didn't dare to stay any longer.

They all accelerated to follow behind Master Zhang.

On the screen, there were only the figures of the archaeological team running.

Zhang Lin watched the somewhat thrilling scene, as well as the barrage that had already gone crazy in the live stream room,

and stood up leisurely to make lunch.

……

When Yang Lu left yesterday, she took the map of the Ancient City of Jingjue.

She still needed to prepare.

At the very least, she had to perfectly integrate this map into her grandfather’s notes.

Zhang Lin said he would let Yang Lu, the new generation leader of the Mountain Movers, have a high-profile debut.
